LookForTheArrow:Ishkur:oh man... this paragraph requests like three or four essays in response. I'm busy and don't have time for another massive post right now, so let me be as brief as possible...

...That's dubstep -- that middle "drop" part right there. It's not the full song, it's just that little bridge. Like I said, it can't exist by itself, it can only exist inside other songs. Like a virus.

It's a surprisingly easy mix of ADD and being heavily anti-scenester. (I don't have the attention span to be bothered with the history of the scene, and I find people, who 'dork to the max' over the finest of magazine-article-fabricated historical nuances of the scene, to be utter bores with very little to add to my already overcrowded train of thought. I enjoy very much indeed parodying that persona at parties, falsely correcting peoples scenester-babble-rants, usually much to the amusement of others, though seldom to the scenester.

You talk with the magazine-educated wordage of the seasoned scenester. I genuinely have the image of you being a scene magazine article writer. For you are the Guardian of Music Historical Fact.

When I play, I avoid guys like you at all costs. All you want to do is talk about monologue on the scene. All I do is write the techbubbleprogtosh that I, me, want to dance to. I occasionally play some in front of other people in exchange for some k, beer and weed. My techbubbleprogtosh has many roots, none of which I actively applied. No deeper layers, just the techbubbleprogtosh that gets brainfarted through my current setup. Some people dance to it. No you can't get a copy. Not yours.

Hey, man, it's farking hard for teenagers to have rebellious music these days. "Melody" has been used up, as has "rhythm," and that bastard Paul Simon even stole *actual* African music. So they went electronic with the oontz oontz oontz and then now there's 40-year-olds like me enjoying Underworld and The Orb. What is a teenager to do? THERE'S NOTHING FREAKING LEFT!

Or is there? What if we took music and just started throwing in random noise? What if we took a normal electronic track and threw it down three flights of stairs? The old people will HATE IT!!!!

Well now... now we have something going on! It will truly piss off the oldsters. Huzzah!

We asked Star readers what they were to listening to when they were 12.

I think the only stuff I heard at 12 was the stuff my mom listened to: Abba, The Village People and Jim Neighbors. When I went over to a neighbor kid's house one day and his older brother played "Should I Stay or Should I Go" and "Another One Bites the Dust" I really didn't know what to make of them.
